Automatic Temperature
Control Mode
The Automatic Climate Control
System is controlled by setting the
desired temperature.
1. Press the AUTO button.
The modes, fan speeds, air intake
and air-conditioning will be controlled
automatically by the temperature set-
ting you select.2. Turn the temperature control knob
to the desired temperature. If the
temperature is set to the lowest set-
ting (Lo), the air conditioning sys-
tem will operate continuously. After
the interior has cooled sufficiently,
adjust the knob to a higher temper-
ature set point whenever possible.
To turn the automatic operation off,
select any function of the following:
- Mode selection button
- Front windshield defroster button (Press the button one more time to
deselect the front windshield
defroster function. The 'AUTO' sign
will illuminate on the information
display once again.) - Fan speed control knob
The selected function will be con-
trolled manually while other functions
operate automatically.
For your convenience and to improve
the efficiency of the climate control,
use the AUTO button and set the
temperature to 72°F (22°C).
Information
In some situations, the air conditioning
system is used to control the tempera-
ture of the high voltage battery. This
may occur when the outside ambient
air temperature is high or when the
vehicle is charging. If this occurs, you
may hear sounds from operation of the
A/C compressor and/or cooling fan.
Also, when the outside ambient tem-
perature is high, the A/C performance
in the cabin may be reduced while
driving due to operation of the cooling
system for the high voltage battery.

instrument panel air vents are the
"click-to-close" type.
To CLOSE the instrument panel
vents perform the following:
- For the driver side vents, slide thevent adjustment lever to the left
until it clicks.
- For the passenger side vents, slide the vent adjustment lever to the
right until it clicks.
Temperature control
Turn the knob to the right to increase
the temperature. Turn the knob to the
left to decrease temperature.
The temperature will increase or
decrease by 1°F/0.5°C for each incre-
mental location. When set to the low-
est temperature setting, the air condi-
tioning will operate continuously.
Temperature conversion
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, the temperature mode
display will reset to Fahrenheit.

Air intake control
The air intake control button is used
to select either Fresh mode (outside
air) or Recirculation mode (cabin air).
Recirculation mode
When Recirculationmode is selected, air
from the passenger
compartment will be
recirculated through the
system and heated or
cooled according to the
function selected.
Fresh mode
When Fresh mode is selected, air enters the
vehicle from outside and
is heated or cooled
according to the function
selected.
Information
Operating the system primarily in
Fresh mode is recommended. Use
Recirculation mode temporarily only
when needed.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
Recirculation mode and without the
A/C ON can cause fogging of the wind-
shield.
In addition, prolonged use of the A/C
ON in Recirculation mode may result in
excessively dry, dehumidified air in the
cabin and may promote formation of
musty vent odor due to stagnant air.
i
OOSEV048315
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
Recirculation mode for a pro-
longed period of time may
cause drowsiness to the
occupants in the cabin. This
may lead to loss of vehicle
control which may lead to an
accident.
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
Recirculation mode with the
A/C OFF may allow humidity
to increase inside the cabin.
This may cause condensation
to accumulate on the wind-
shield and obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in your vehicle or
remain parked in your vehicle
with the windows up and
either the heater or the air
conditioning ON for pro-
longed periods of time. Doing
so may increase the levels of
carbon dioxide in the cabin
which may lead to serious
injury or death.

Fan speed control
The fan speed can be set to the
desired speed by turning the fan
speed control knob.
More air is delivered with higher fan
speeds.
Pressing the OFF button turns off the
fan.
Information
For better sound quality, fan speed
may automatically slow down for a
couple of minutes when you activate
voice recognition or hands free.Operating the fan when the
POWER button is in the ON posi-
tion could cause the battery to
discharge. Operate the blower
when the vehicle is in the ready
()
mode.
Driver only
If you press the DRIVER ONLY
( ) button, the indicator light
will illuminate. In this mode the cli-
mate control system blows air prima-
rily through the two left-most vents
(nearest the driver). The purpose of the DRIVER ONLY
option helps to reduce energy con-
sumption from the climate control
system when only the driver is in the
vehicle.
Note that the DRIVER ONLY function
will be disabled when:
1) The DRIVER ONLY button is de-
selected (indicator light OFF)
2) Whenever the FRONT Defroster button is selected.
The DRIVER ONLY indicator light will
remain illuminated, but air will flow
through all upper vents towards the
windshield glass for as long as the
FRONT defrost button is activated.DRIVER ONLY
